Sounds great! I have all seven of my G92 GPUs and a GTX460 folding. I need to bake my GTX550TI to see if that will bring it back to life--if so, I'll be at about 60k PPD. I also have a 9800GTX coming too, for maybe 6.5k PPD more.

Norton, you have some high end hardware and so you need to configure a little bit differently.
First, you need to get a passkey. This will allow you to get bonuses for your SMP work and access to the beta work units (WU's)
Second, you need to turn those GTX580 loose on the beta's. Bring up the advanced control interface, click on configure, slots and for each GPU, you need to select edit and then under extra slot options click add and then put client-type under name and beta under value and it will look like this:
When the client is done with it's current job, it will pick up a beta WU. If it doesn't, restart the client.
For everyone else reading this, it is MHO that only the high end Nvidia cards should run beta. A GTX 580 can get over 40,000 PPD with the beta's but I can't even get 20,000 PPD with my GTX 560 Ti's, which is less PPD than the non-beta WU's.
AMD cards? You'll love the beta WU's. No more huge hit on the CPU.

I agree with Bruce's summarization. 448 Cuda cores or higher is required to make the beta bonus worthwhile. Anything less than 448 and your just taking a beta WU and dragging it out for an entire day instead of several hours for a regular GPU3 WU while netting the same PPD.

OK I made the change- let's see what this does

I'm up over 30k now according to FreeDC and have 55 minutes to go on 2 gpu jobs est at 27k or so each*.... so not too bad I think
*or is it 3.8k points?

I dont know if it would help you any but I just tried for a few hours to get my 2600k to fold with my 580 and I probably dont have a clue what Im doing but it didnt work. The 580 lost almost 8k in ppd while it was running which wasnt long. it blue screened on me 4 times. So now it is back at 46k with no cpu folding. It might help your ppd to shut down the cpu.
I dont have a 7 series AMD card but I just started a 6870 and it is getting 7.2k.

6970 Lightning is configured and is working through a WU. In other tasks it runs much hotter than the 580 so I don't think it will see too much production, but we shall see.

6970 Results:
1. They sure fixed the CPU usage issue. I was only seeing 1-3% CPU usage as if I were running an Nvidia card.
2. Production is bad. TPF of 9+mins with ETA of 14hrs is not going to cut it with the power the card uses and the temps it hit (74C).
